With all that extra cash you saved on flights think of the Broadway shows, tours and shopping you'll be able to fit in.

Skúli Mogensen, CEO and Founder of WOW air said: “We are proud to constantly be lowering fares across the Atlantic, enabling more people to fly in our brand new aircraft and to experience the world.

You'll soon be able to fly to New York from Stansted for £99

“Air Passenger Duty in the UK is one of the highest in the world and we would love to change this. These low fares make a statement and allow our passengers to fly affordably.“

Martin Jones, London Stansted’s Commercial Director, said: “WOW air’s new service to New York JFK is great news for Stansted passengers looking to head to the Big Apple, offering not only fantastic value fares but quick and efficient connection times, and adds to the extensive range of North American destinations already on offer via its hub in Reykjavik.

“This is in addition to the WOW air Stopover offer that allows passengers to take a few days in Iceland before carrying on with their journey to the States or Canada.”

Already operating a route to Newark Liberty International Airport, the airline also currently offers routes to Chicago, Pittsburgh, Miami, Toronto, Boston, Montreal, Washington D.C. and Californian destinations Los Angeles and San Francisco.
